GAGGED KNOWLEDGE. “We know more than we can say: We know more than we can tell and we can tell nothing without relying on our awareness of things we may not be able to tell. “ Polanyi (1958) the Social Phenomenologist. https://lnkd.in/dCz2CcNZ View in LinkedIn

BREEDING GROUND. “Recent ALMA observations presented by Trakhtenbrot et al. have revealed a large number, ~50%, of massive star-forming galaxies interacting with quasar hosts (within

BLACK HOLE MERGERS. “The acquired kick velocity can be as large as ~ 100 kms(−1), enough to eject the coalesced binary out of the host galaxy.” https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

BLACK HOLE MERGERS. “In major mergers, BHs follow the fate of their host galaxies, coalescing to form a more massive BH. However, during this process, a large centre-of-mass recoil (kick) can be imparted to the newly formed BH as a consequence of asymmetric GW emission.” (BH = black hole; GW = gravitational wave). https://lnkd.in/dHcpNrnR View in LinkedIn

CHALLENGING WAVELENGTHS. “With the possible exception of the hardest X-ray wavebands, studies of distant galaxies in the submm waveband remained elusive for the longest period.” The many reasons for this difficulty are discussed. (Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

CLEAR SEPARATION. “The detection of submm radiation from distant galaxies is one of the most recent developments in observational cosmology, and has finally brought this region of the electromagnetic spectrum into use for making cosmological observations not directly connected with the cosmic microwave background (CMB).” (Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

NOVEL TERRITORY. “This review discusses the results of a new type of direct observation of the galaxy formation process, made possible by the development of powerful new radiation detectors sensitive to wavelengths in the range 200 µm to about 1 mm: the submillimeter (submm) waveband.” (Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

“THE POWER SOURCE for dusty galaxies. About 99% of the energy released by galaxies in the submm and far-IR wavebands is produced by thermal emission from dust grains; the remainder comes from fine-structure atomic and molecular rotational line emission. However, the source of the energy to power this emission by heating dust is often unclear.” (IR = infrared; Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

HIGH ENERGY SOURCES. “The first extragalactic submm/mm surveys using SCUBA and MAMBO revealed a population of very luminous high-redshift galaxies, which as a population, were responsible for the release of a significant fraction of the energy generated by all galaxies over the history of the Universe.” (Submm == submillimeter wavelengths). https://lnkd.in/dAkZ_ejH View in LinkedIn

LANGUAGE GENE. “Called Forkhead-box P2, or FOXP2, this gene is a member of a large and ancient gene family that codes transcription factors (proteins that bind to DNA, thus regulating the expression of other genes).” https://lnkd.in/dTkGwcGB View in LinkedIn
